Fig. 185. NEST OP OVBNBIRD. 



Arched over so that one has to stoop low to look under and see 

 the eggs. 



The good fellowship that exists between birds can be 

 judged by the number that nested in company with the 

 Prairie Warblers, within a radius of one hundred yards. 

 They included Indigo Buntings, Towhees, Veeries, Thrash- 

 ers, Vireos, Black and White and Chestnut-sided Warblers, 

 Field and Song Sparrows, a Chickadee, Bluebird and Scar- 

 let Tanger. As a general thing they all lived very peace- 

 ably with only an occasional tilt that in no ways disturbed 

 the social equilibruni of the bird community.
